State-run Al-Ahram newspaper quoted a doctor in a field hospital near the Mugamma in Tahrir as saying he performed first aid on a female protester whose legs were injured after she was run over by a vehicle.

Her relatives then took her to a hospital, and the number of protesters increased amid rumors that she had passed away, the doctor told Al-Ahram.

The privately-owned Sada al-Balad news website reported that protesters set ablaze one police vehicle, and that police forces extinguished the fire before it spread.
